•The type and quantity of the food will affect which setting to use.

•Thesize, typeandmateria] ofyour pan will affect which setting to use.

When a large pan is used on a small burner, it may cause the simmer action to occur mainly in the center of the pan. When the food is stirred, the cooler food near the edges of the pan may result in an overall temperature too cool to simmer. If this hap- pens, turn the burner up slightly.

It is normal to stir food occasion- ally. This is especially important

when simmering for several hours. For example: a homemade spaghetti sauce or beans.

•It is normal not to see simmer

bubbles immediately after the food has been stirred.
